You need to approach the Łódź restaurant scene with an openness and understanding that the gastronomy industry here is still in its relative infancy. That doesn’t mean there’s not some absolute gems, but you may have to wade through some murky waters to find them. Just to note - the opening hours in Łódź are rather a mere suggestion; don’t be put off if the doors are closed during a slow day but conversely you can expect the chefs and staff to power through regardless of the late hour come a busy night service.
